HOW DO YOU TELL IF YOUR CAR IS IN CLOSED LOOP? I HAVE 2002 ZX5 ZETEC AUTO THATS GOT A SLIGHT MISS AND ITS GETTING HORRIBLE MPG. I HAVE A GOPOINT CABLE FOR MY IPOD TOUCH AND IM TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT. ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED..

There's still no way of knowing just because it warms up. I use an Ultragauge and it shows when it goes into a closed loop. I can also see what my fuel trims are. The circle in the upper right of the screen shows a closed loop. At start up, it shows a broken circle. It takes about 20-30 seconds for it to be closed.http://www.ultra-gauge.com/ultragauge/index.htm

You can use a volt meter on the o2 wiring and see if your voltage goes up and down , it takes anywhere from 30sec to 3 min to go closed loop , car starts in open loop then switches to closed loop

Spend the datalog money on a xcal3 then you get a custom tune , datalogger and checks and clears the CEL or find some on here on FF close to you that has a xcal and do a datalog and I will be glad to look at it for you
